Sybase 15.0.2 manual Interpubs database, Installing the interpubs database

Installing sample databases

-Sservername -i

%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\scripts\instpix2

Note The image data requires a fair amount of space—there are six pictures, two each in the PICT, TIFF, and Sun raster file formats. Run instpix2 script only to use or test the image datatype. Sybase does not supply any tools for displaying image data. You must use appropriate window graphics tools to display the images after you have extracted them from the database.

For more information about running these scripts, see the configuration guide for your platform.

interpubs database

interpubs is a database similar to pubs2 that contains French and German data. This data contains 8-bit characters and is available for use at Adaptive Server installations using the ISO 8859-1 (iso_1), ISO 8859-15 (iso15), Roman8, or Roman9 (for HP-UX) character set. To display the French and German data correctly, you must set up your terminal to display 8-bit characters.

vInstalling the interpubs database

1Be sure iso_1, iso15, Roman8, Roman 9, or UTF-8 is installed as the default character set or as an additional character set.

2Determine the type (raw partition, logical volume, operating system file, and so on) and location of the device where you will be storing the interpubs database. You will need to provide this information later.

3Make a copy of the original installintpubs script. Be sure you can access this copy, in case you experience problems with the edited script.

4Use a text editor to edit the script, if necessary, to specify a default device other than the master device, or use sp_diskdefault.

5Execute the script, using the -Jflag to ensure that the database is installed with the correct character set:

isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sservername -Jroman8-i

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/scripts/roman8/installintpubs

isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sservername -Jiso_1-i %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE\%scripts\iso_1\ installintpubs
